We enjoyed an excellent stay here. The staff were all extremely helpful and friendly. We were lucky enough to stay in the spacious Victoria Suite, which had an amazing bathroom and enjoyed wonderful views of the sea. We also had our own private balcony. The property has clearly undergone a recent refurbishment, which was apparent from the spotless and tasteful decor.

Based on others' reviews, we had high expectations for the Albion Hotel, but these were comfortably exceeded. Rooms are modern and well-equipped ... we especially liked the his 'n hers showers ... and ours had a large (shared) terrace overlooking delightful sea views. The quality of food and choice of wine at dinner were both outstanding, followed by an excellent breakfast. Without exception, the staff were all extremely welcoming, helpful and friendly. Highly recommended.

Lovely hotel in a fantastic location. We have been to the IOW many times over the years, but this is our first time staying at the Albion, but it won't be our last! Would like to have dined at the hotel's restaurant - The Rock - one evening, but there was very little offered on the menu for vegans, so we went elsewhere. Having spoken to the restaurant manager about this, hopefully that will change soon. Likewise some issues with vegan options at breakfast - again we were assured this was changing. Breakfast location overlooking the bay with the sun coming up was lovely though. We had a suite overlooking the bay and it was spectacular watching the stormy sea raging and the waves crashing against the windows (August Bank Holiday weather)! The IOW is definitely our happy place and the Albion will be our 'go to' hotel for our future visits. :)

Logistically superb - lots of walks, beach, at low tide you can go rock pooling etc. Bus stop right outside - which when the weather isn't great is a useful option to get around. There are small bus routes that loop certain areas - and you get a running commentary so worth jumping on. Hotel is fabulous - views are amazing, food is delicious, and good value, room were exceptional (you must like the sound of the sea) and the staff are kind, informative and go above and beyond.

This is a very well-located hotel, with well-appointed rooms. We enjoyed our meal in the restaurant. The negative is the thumping bass in the bar/restaurant...it seemed OK at dinner, but was unpleasant at breakfast time. Our beautiful suite, the Victoria Suite, was right above the bar/restaurant and the bass from around 7.30 am to 11.30 pm detracted from an otherwise lovely stay. So if you are noise sensitive I would suggest choosing a room well away from the bar/restaurant. If you aren't, you will enjoy the view from the balcony and the decadent bathroom!
